A fabric manager includes: a processing unit having a service chain creation module configured to create a service chain by connecting some of a plurality of nodes via virtual links; wherein the some of the plurality of nodes represent respective network components of an auxiliary network configured to obtain packets... Gigamon Inc

A method of monitoring virtualized network includes receiving information regarding the virtualized network, wherein the information is received at a port of a network switch appliance, receiving a packet at a network port of the network switch appliance, and using the received information to determine whether to process the packet... Gigamon Inc

A method performed by a network device includes: receiving a first packet by the network device, wherein the first packet is tapped from a network; identifying a session to which the first packet belongs when the first packet has one or more values that at least partially match one or... Gigamon Inc

An inline-bypass switch system includes: a first inline-bypass switch appliance having a first bypass component, a first switch coupled to the first bypass component, and a first controller; and a second inline-bypass switch appliance having a second bypass component, a second switch coupled to the second bypass component, and a... Gigamon Inc

A method of identifying targets for monitoring includes: obtaining a user-defined filter map, the user-defined filter map having one or more filter rules for matching against network traffic when the user-defined filter map is used by a network system to process the network traffic; and determining a set of one... Gigamon Inc

A method for providing user access to a network switch appliance, includes: receiving from a user a request to access configuration item for the network switch appliance, the network switch appliance configured to pass packets received from a network to network monitoring instruments; and determining, using a processing unit, whether... Gigamon Inc

Systems of redundant in-line network switch appliances are described. In an embodiment, a system includes a primary network switch appliance and a secondary network switch appliance communicatively coupled in-line between nodes on a computer network. A tool, for example for network monitoring, is communicatively coupled to the primary network switch... Gigamon Inc

A network appliance may be coupled to a network tool configured to monitor the traffic within a computer network. Often, the network tool is operable in two modes (i.e., an inline mode and an out-of-band mode). Before the network tool is deployed as an inline device, however, it is desirable... Gigamon Inc

Embodiments are disclosed for monitoring the performance of an in-line tool without adding data to network traffic routed through the in-line tool. In some embodiments, performance of the in-line tool is based on a measured latency introduced by the processing of packets through the in-line tool. In some embodiments, network... Gigamon Inc

Introduced herein is a technology for a network switch device to route network packets through a inline tool, without introducing additional information to the network packets. The technology records an association between an input network port and a signature (e.g., source MAC address) of the network packet, before forwarding the... Gigamon Inc

A method performed by a network device that taps to a network having a routing device, includes: receiving a first packet tapped from the network; determining a first information regarding an input interface of the routing device based on a destination address of the first packet; receiving a second packet... Gigamon Inc

Embodiments are disclosed for a network switch appliance with a traffic broker that facilitates routing of network traffic between pairs of end nodes on a computer network through a configurable sequence of in-line tools.... Gigamon Inc

Ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) of an ingress appliance in a visibility fabric may include rules for filtering traffic received by the ingress appliance. But the TCAM has limited space for rules and can become easily exhausted. By migrating rules to other visibility nodes in the visibility fabric, the techniques introduced... Gigamon Inc

A switch appliance includes: a first network port for communication with a first node, the first network port configured to receive a packet; a second network port for communication with a second node; a first instrument port for communication with a first inline tool; a buffer; and a processing unit...
